Fitness & Nutrition Tips

The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CPSI) ranks the sweet potato as the No. 1 most-nutritional vegetable and rated it significantly higher in nutrients than the Idaho potato, spinach, or broccoli.
One medium sweet potato provides about 130 calories and 3.9 grams of dietary fiber and is virtually fat-free.

Breakfast Tip

Use fresh fruit in Oatmeal Breakfast vs. Raisins. One little box of raisins contains a full daily amount of sugar recommended.
